THE Kokomo Gazette Tribune says: 'It is
a patent fact that the action Of the Democrats
in seating Branaman was contrary to both law
and justice, and was only resorted to that a
Democratic Senator might be elected" OF
course, everybody knows that; but as the Ga
zette has expressed the opinion that the Re-
publicans Of the Legislature did wise thing
in agreeing to a compromise that allowed
Branaman to vote in joint convention, the
proper thingfor it to do now is to keep still.

RECENT publications have recalled the rela-
tons Of Rawlins to Grant. In this connec-
ton we became curious to know, first, what
Grant had said of him in his Memoirs" An
examination shows that Rawlins is only named
in four places, and not at all in the second
volume In fact he is only mentioned once
at any length, and otherwise his name occurs
casually and in connection with unimportant
matters. The longest notice devotes about
one-half a page to his estimate Of Rawlins
While it is complimentary in general way,
he does not seem to attach any particular i'm
portance to Rollins's relations with him during
the war. Indeed, on the whole, it may be said
that the memoirs" give rather meagre praise
of Rawlins

I'M FIGHTINa TRIM

1t has been the policy of the Journal, at all
times, to allow the voice of the party and OF
the people TO be heard through its columns
upon any pressing public question, just so
far as it was possible. We have done that
respecting the so-called legislative "compro-
MISE" and the feeling Of the party and Of the
people has been fairly expressed. We have
printed the comment favorable to it-what
there has been-as we'll as that in oppo-
sition, only exercising careful editorial
supervision, both as to letters and
press opinion, to excise those portions which
were personal, and the printing of which
could have resulted only in harm. The Jour-
nal has had no Interior object or personal
feeling to subserve, but only to show what the
popular feeling was upon the matter. We are
sure that good will result from it all. Repre-
sentatives ia the General Assembly will be
benefited by knowing public sentiment and
will be the better able to properly guard the
rights of the people. In every respect it will
be of advantage that not only Republicans, but
Democrats as we'll, have discovered that the
Republican party is on the alert is as vigor.

the whole party is ready to back
their representatives in the Legislature in
everything that is honorable and right, and te

next contest before the people, which began

The home for soldiers orphans and the
school for feeble minded children should be
separated; of that there is no doubt There is
not only no natural connection between them,
but the idea of connecting them is repulsive
Granted that they should be separated, the To-
cation of the school for feeble-minded chill
dren should be selected more with reference
to convenience, accessibility, hygienic con-
ditions, ETC., than with reference to securing
donation or benus. In other words, the
question should be decided on its merits, and
not from the standpoint of cheese pairing
economy.

that they cannot understand the BILL and an
other is that the United States courts are
given exclusive jurisdiction Of cases arising
that United States courts are made to con-
strue United States laws. 1t would hardly do
to give justice of the peace jurisdiction of
cases relating to interstate commerce. AS for
the committees inability to understand the
bill, that does not appear to be conclusive
reason why the Presidents should veto it.
Perhaps they will understand it better afterit
has been construed by the courts.

A GOOD WITNESS FOR PROPORTION,

We have seldom seen stronger testimony in
favor of protection to American industry than
that borne by Mr.. jackson Landers of this
city, as contained in Washington special dis
patch to the Journal yesterday. City readers
do not need to be informed that Mr.. Landers
is prominent Democrat but the fact gives
additional significance to his statement, as
does the further fact that he speaks as bust
ness man and not as politician. Mr. Lam
ders is manager of the United States Encaus-
tic Tile Company, of this city, the largest es-
Enlistment of the kind in the United States
In constructing the new Pension Building at
Washington the government contractor has
decided to use English thing, on the ground
that it is cheaper than American thing.
American thing is of very superior quality,
and cheaper than English thing of the same
grade. The fact is the contractor proposes to
put in an inferior quality Of English thing
under the pretext Of economy It may be
economy for him, but it will not be for the
government. Referring to the comparative
cost of English and American thing and the
effect of protection, Mr.. Landers said:
1.-THE story about combinations was simply
pretext for introducing an inferior grade Of
English tile. Protection does protect the con
sumner as well as the manufacturer, and this
may be seen from the fact that to-day tiles
are sold in bulk by American manufacturers
at less than one-half the price charged by inn
porters before commencement of work by the
industry in this country, and government, for
whose work tiles are, under certain circum-
stances, imported free of duty, can now have
floor laid of American tile at saving Of at
least so per cent. on the prices paid fifteen
years ago, when English tiles were exclu-
sively used. Ten years ago the court house at
Indianapolis was tiled with English tile, some
3d. 600 square feet being used, and the price
paid was Is cents per square foot. Protection
has protected the government in the pension
floor to the extent of at least % cents per
square foot. A portion of the work in the
Indianapolis courthouse was defective, and it
has since been relaid with American tile"
Here we have the testimony of a Democratic
witness that protection protects the con-
sumner as well as the manufacturer, and he
cites the fact that under protection the price
| of American thing has been reduced SO per
| cent in fifteen years. In other words we
paid so per cent. more for English thing if
teen years ago, before American thing was
made, and when English thing was intro
duced free of duty, than we do now for Amer
| lean thing. This is a complete answer to the
stock argument Of free-traders that protec-
tion increases the cost of the protected article
| to the consumer.
